[jawsscripts] Re: Seeking feedback on Homer enhancements for Microsoft Word

Jamal,

A question.  I haven't yet installed this.  But, do the find/replace
commands replace those available in MSWord?  Word uses CTRL+f for find and
CTRL+h for find and replace.  As you know the Word version of both find and
replace are more than find and replace typically found in many programs.
They allow one to find for special characteristics such as formatting or
things such as  section breaks and page breaks.

Using the object model of Microsoft Word, I have been able to make most of
the Homer editor interface available there via JAWS scripts.  If you are
used to and like the Word-Specific keystroke assignments, these scripts
are not for you.  You can still install the latest HomerKit, but answer No
to the question about using the Homer interface with Word.

On the other hand, if you are familiar with the Homer interface because of
the scripts for WordPad, Script Manager, or Internet Explorer, or because
you use EdSharp, then you may appreciate a consistent interface in Word,
and value the usability enhancements supported by the scripts.  I am
seeking specific feedback on them.  What do you particularly like?  What
seems not to work as described?  What key conflicts are problematic with
conventional Word assignments?  What other enhancements would you like, if
possible?

As usual, Alt+Shift+H presents a hot key summary.  I will also highlight
features as follows.

F8 marks the start of a selection, and Shift+F8 completes it.  Control+C
or Control+X copy or cut the current line if no text is selected.  Alt+C
or Alt+X append to the clipboard rather than replacing it.  Use the Quote
Clipboard command, Alt+Apostrophe, to hear the current content of the
clipboard.

Alt+P says the full path of the current document, and Alt+Shift+P copies
it to the clipboard.  Alt+A says the address of the cursor, giving its
line, column, and percentage point.  Use he Yield command, Alt+Y, to hear
the number of characters, words, and lines in the document.  Alt+Z says
whether it has been modified since the last save to disk.

Control+F searches forward, and Control+Shift+F searches backward.  F3 or
Shift+F3 repeats the search forward or backward.  After a successful
search, the current line is read automatically (and no Find dialog remains
open).

Control+J jumps to a line that you specify by number.  Control+G goes to a
percentage point instead.  Control+R replaces text, and Control+Shift+R
replaces with a regular expression.

F4 lets you activate a document window from a list of those currently
open.  Shift+F4 just says their titles.

Alt+L lists favorite files to open, and Alt+R lists recent ones.
Control+L adds the current document to the favorite list, and
Control+Shift+L removes it.  Control+K sets a bookmark, Alt+K goes to it,
and Control+Shift+K clears it.

Use the Alternate Menu command, Alt+F10, to pick from a single,
alphabetized list of all Word commands available on toolbars -- over 500
of them.  Alt+Shift+F10 lets you pick from a list of JAWS scripts for Word
-- both FS and Homer ones.
